Gut bacteria transplant after colon surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria into people who have had part of their colon removed can improve recovery. It may help prevent infections or other complications after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a standardized fecal transplant is safe and helpful for adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who are already on maintenance therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce inflammation in the digestive tract.
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (a procedure that transfers healthy stool bacteria) can change a person’s gut bacteria after repeated C. difficile infection. It may help reduce recurring infections by restoring a healthier balance of gut microbes.
This trial tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria, along with standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery, can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people with a specific type of rectal cancer.
This trial tests whether a stool transplant (fecal microbiota transplantation) can help manage active ulcerative colitis. You would receive a transplant from a healthy donor to see if it improves your symptoms.
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation (a transplant of beneficial gut bacteria from a donor) to help people with Crohn’s disease that is causing narrowing (strictures) and/or abnormal tunnels (fistulas) and who need bowel surgery. You may qualify if you’re an adult, planning ileal/ileocecal surgery, and can complete the colonoscopy while not on certain gut-altering medicines.
This study uses fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) — transferring gut bacteria from a healthy donor — to see how it affects the gut microbiome in people with ulcerative colitis, metabolic syndrome, or recurrent C. difficile infection. It may help stabilize the gut bacteria and improve symptoms.
